Outreach
Impacting our community and the world through irrational generosity.
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:16
2024 Outreach Opportunities
Through our collective generosity, we are able to make an impact beyond ourselves. This is one of the greatest ways we can tangibly live out the Gospel and share Jesus.
Feeding Families with the McFarland's
This year we are partnering with a family in our church to feed families in need on Thanksgiving day. All morning this family will prepare a freshly cooked meal to bless those who might not otherwise have a meal that day.
Purchase specific items to support the McFarland’s in this ministry effort.
Christmas For Fosters
Christmas For Fosters serves families who have responded to the call of fostering children without a safe home. Our goal is to support each Northeast Florida family with gift cards to grocery stores to bless their family with a Christmas meal, along with notes of prayer and encouragement.
Pick up your gift bags and blank cards beginning November 24th. Gift cards, bags, and notes are due December 8th.
Please purchase gift cards in $25 increments to stores like Walmart, Aldi, Winn Dixie, or Publix.

Bradford Community for Schools
Every year we partner with Communities in Schools to purchase Christmas gifts for middle and high school students in our community who wouldn’t otherwise have a Christmas experience.
This year, our goal is to sponsor 15 students. As a family, individual, or even partnering with someone in the church, pray about how you can display generosity this year to those in need. Plan to spend around $300-500 per student.
Tags for student gifts will be available on November 24th, and wrapped gifts are due back on December 15th.
